More than 40 cheering NYPD officers at Jamaica Hospital greeted their colleague, Andris Bisogno as he was wheeled out, his left arm in cast and ring finger in a splint.

As he was helped out of the wheelchair and into a waiting NYPD van, the shaken cop told reporters, “I’m alright, I’m alright.”

Bisogno and his partner, Jennifer Garcia, were answering a suspicious-person call to the Van Dyke Houses in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

When the officers asked Erickson Gomez Brito, 21, for ID, he flipped out, grabbed Bisogno’s baton and starting beating both officers with the instrument, officials said.

Gomez Brito battled mental health issues and was on antidepressants, family and friends said on Sunday. About a year ago, he spent time in hospital for a psychological evaluation, law enforcement sources said.

Dad Osiris Gomez said his son had just left the house to go buy cigarettes and visit an aunt who lives nearby when the deadly confrontation went down.

“For him to get murdered on his way to get cigarettes and to visit his aunt’s house, that makes no sense,” he said.

The tearful, distraught dad insisted his son wouldn’t have attacked police.

“They’re killers in uniform, they’re supposed to protect us, not kill us.” he said. “They’re fabricating stories. He has no history of violence. He was taking antidepressants but he has no history of aggression.”
